740504 ÷ 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 740504 can be divided by 12.

Moving on to step 1:
12 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 72 from 74, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
20 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 12 from 20, we get 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 12

Step 4:
12 can be fit into 85 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 617.0
If we take 84 away from 85, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 10 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6170.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
104 divided by 12 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61708.0
Subtracting 96 from 104 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
12 can be fit into 80 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 61708.6
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
12 goes into 80 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61708.66
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 61708.66 with a remaining 0.008.
